to blame

The rift runs across the entire plain, with a surface width of more than ten meters. It looks like a product of a major earthquake.Most of the lots are near vertical cuts.In order to find the entrance marked by Mr. Hu, Nanjiang and the others walked northward along the edge of the rift for nearly [-] kilometers, only to see a small valley full of camel grass and Populus euphratica.

There should have been water here earlier, because the vegetation in the valley was obviously more lush than the outside.The west side of the valley connected to the bottom of the rift, and Nanjiang and the others saw traces left by Liu Enzheng and his party here: footprints, car prints, and traces of buried garbage.

Nanjiang's team entered the rift valley from here, and continued north along the dry riverbed at the bottom of the rift valley.

Mingxia and Qingqiu lowered their altitude and moved along the top of the rift valley, while carefully identifying potential dangers in the rift valley.

Qingqiu is a big monster with one of the best innate conditions. After releasing his ability, he is still improving steadily.But he has little combat experience, and he is very unfamiliar with using his own energy waves to survey unfamiliar environments.Not to mention Ming Xia, he may have some potential talents, but after so many battles, he has just touched a little bit of the use of talents, and it is still a long way from proficient use.

Nanjiang arranged for them to play the front line, which also meant to hone them.

One person and one fox crossed the densely wooded area, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.They didn't expect so many kinds of creatures to live in such a dry place before, and they found that the Gobi Desert was not completely devoid of water when they arrived near the rift valley.Where there is water, there is life.

Fortunately, along the way, most of the insects and rodents encountered, so far I have not encountered any more difficult animals.But they both guessed that there should be snakes in this area.From the perspective of terrain conditions, as long as they don't drill into special corners, the chances of encountering them should not be too high.

When one person and one fox encounter small gaps and dense vegetation, they will lower their heights, and when encountering large gaps and sparse vegetation, they will raise their heights. The journey is smooth.

The afternoon is when the sun is at its strongest. Even with protective goggles, Ming Xia still feels dizzy.However, the view from the heights is wide, and the scenery is also extremely magnificent.Especially the huge rift valley at the foot is like the cracks split by the giant ax of the gods on the endless Gobi Desert.

Qingqiu lowered his altitude, and flew almost close to the ground surface on one side of the rift valley, while flying forward furtively, he also reminded Ming Xia in the consciousness channel, "Get down, get down, don't let anyone see you!"

Ming Xia obediently lay on his back, "Who saw it?"

"I don't know." Qingqiu's actions were completely conditioned reflexes.He was on a detection mission, and there was a sneaky movement ahead, so he naturally wanted to hide to see what happened quietly.

There was a collapse on the rock wall not far ahead, and the collapse formed a gap perpendicular to the direction of the rift.Judging from the coordinates sent by Liu Enzheng, they should have passed through this gap.There are still clear car marks on the sand at the turn ahead.

A figure slowly flashed out from the corner, and waved his hand behind him.

"It's Xie Rong."

Ming Xia also recognized it, but he didn't find it surprising.Because of Xie Rong's posture, a man can tell that he probably wants to go a little farther to relieve himself.And he and Qingqiu hid their breath and watched others do this, it was a bit wretched to say it.

Even though she thought so, Ming Xia didn't move.It would be even more embarrassing if something happened at this moment and people found out.It's better to wait quietly for a while, and it's best to go away separately.

Qingqiu didn't think so, and he deliberately pressed his body down to ensure that the person at the bottom of the valley would not see them if he turned around by chance.

Ming Xia felt a little helpless, "Let's not be so nasty..."

"Look!" Qing Qiu interrupted him.

Xie Rong's movements could be clearly seen from where they were hiding. He turned his back to them, but he quickly touched the crevice of the stone with one hand.

Ming Xia didn't even understand his movements, it seemed that he just touched it casually, but the position between the stone cracks was really not something that could be touched by just waving his hands.

Xie Rong left quickly.

One person and one fox chased to the gap in the mountain rock. Looking from here, the ground is not so flat, but the big stones blocking the road are piled on both sides, obviously the road has been cleared.It is unlikely that it was Liu Enzheng and his group, it should have been ordered by Du at the beginning.

Xie Rong walked quickly and disappeared.

At this time, it was difficult for Ming Xia and Qing Qiu to catch up with Liu Enzheng and the others, so they had to wait for their team at the gap.As for the crack in the stone that Xie Rong touched, both of them went over to take a look, and found that there was nothing inside.

There was no obstacle along the way, and Nan Jiang and the others quickly caught up.Hearing what happened to Xie Rong was also a little surprised, and they gathered around the stone crack to have a look.

The stone gap is two fingers wide and about one meter deep.If someone hides things here, it is really a good place, no matter it is windy or rainy, it will not be affected easily.

The problem is that there is nothing in it.Ming Xia wondered if he and Qingqiu saw something wrong.

Ming Xia was puzzled, "Misunderstood him?"

Qingqiu was also resentful.

"Not necessarily." Nan Jiang waved to Tang Xun, "Take the instrument and scan it."

Tang Xun dragged the instrument down from the car, and checked all the places where Xie Rong stayed.This investigation really found something: in the crevice of the rock, there was a brand mark carved on the rock by Xie Rong's energy wave.

The energy wave will not dissipate in a short period of time, which is equivalent to the monster clan leaving their own signature with each person's unique monster power.

It is undoubtedly a very risky move to leave your own traces in such a place, but if no one sees it and then uses an instrument to detect it, no one will be able to find it.

No matter what message Xie Rong wanted to convey by doing this, it was certain that someone would quietly follow after them.

After discussing with the team members, Nan Jiang decided to leave a small camera near the gap.

There is a bit of luck involved in this arrangement, because the monster race in the big formation has an unusually keen sense of the mechanical devices of human society, and they are also very repulsive.On the contrary, those monster races living in human society are probably used to seeing these things, so they are not very sensitive.

The key depends on which group of people Xie Rong is waiting for.

Encountering such a thing, Ming Xia was not in a good mood.This "everyone knows he has a problem, but there's no proof" feeling sucks.He dragged Nan Jiang over and asked him directly what kind of background Xie Rong had so that he could sneak into the club team.

Nanjiang knew about the club's situation. They had almost never dealt with Xie Rong before. It was probably because Xie Rong heard that the club team wanted to participate in the sixth team's aid mission, Xie Rong started to think about it.He has contacts and money in his hands, and he went through the needles on both sides, and that's how the matter was done.

"Does it matter that he is in the sixth group?" Ming Xia heard from Tu Qing that the club's participation was negotiated by Xie Rong.To be able to approve the club team to participate, and to approve Xie Rong, a non-club member, to participate, this person must be the one who can make decisions in the Yaozhou branch.

"I don't know about that." Nanjiang also sighed, "At present, Captain Zhou of the sixth team is in charge of the action team, and he was very unhappy when he notified me. Say, maybe you don’t know.”

Ming Xia patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay if he is tricked by Xie Rong's rhetoric, but if there is something wrong with this person... I'm afraid it's not a small problem. You should pay more attention."

The first suspect that popped up in Ming Xia's mind was actually Commander Du, but he quickly realized that Commander Du had been in the formation all along, and many news could not be spread, so he dispelled his suspicion.As for the other leaders at the same level as him, at most Ming Xia had met face-to-face, and the details were not clear at all, so it was hard to guess wildly.

Nan Jiang nodded to express his understanding.

Ming Xia pointed to the rift valley extending to the northeast, "Is this direction connected to the valley that seals Zhu Huai?"

"Theoretically they are connected," Nan Jiang said, "but there is a seal in the west area, and no one has passed through it for many years. A few years ago, when the people from the technical department inspected the Zhuhuai Valley, they planned to check from the other side. I went to the big formation in the west area, but I encountered a lot of trouble, and some people were injured. Therefore, the plan to straighten out this passage was shelved."

"Did Zhu Huai and Mrs. Ning come in from this connected valley?" Ming Xia asked him, "Do they know the way to take the Bronze Pass?"

"They should know the road to Bronze Pass." Nanjiang hesitated for a moment, "But even if there are no guards on the No. [-] Peak, if they really want to pass through Bronze Pass with great fanfare, our people will still be able to find out."

In fact, no one noticed any changes near the Bronze Pass.

Ming Xia nodded, it is certain that there is a problem in Zhuhuai Valley.If they get a chance, they still have to remind the people in the technical department to check carefully.

As for Xie Rong...

"He left the mark in the crevice of the stone," Ming Xia was puzzled, "It means that the person he wants to contact probably took the road we came from. If he came in from Zhuhuai Valley, Xie Rong should Left the mark on the other side of the gap."

The road they took when they came and the road they walked in along the Zhuhuai Valley happened to be two opposite directions.Xie Rong should not mistake such important information.

Ming Xia asked Nan Jiang in a low voice, "If the people who are connected with Xie Rong are not from the West Mountain, then could they be those human families in the old city?"

He suddenly remembered the young man Wu Tong who was Zhu Huai, who had been raised by the Ying family for hundreds of years before taking shape.Wutong and the Cao family of the Ying family are all Yiya's subordinates, what if Xie Rong contacted these people?

Nan Jiang thought for a moment, then shook his head, "If the Ying family and the Cao family enter Xishan, we should be able to detect such a large-scale action. And it is more convenient for them to go directly to Zhuhuai Valley than to follow us Some. What I’m worried about now is that Xie Rong is contacting a group of forces that we don’t know about. Then it will be troublesome.”

In fact, Ming Xia didn't remember all the backgrounds of the monsters.For a moment, he didn't think about what kind of background Xie Rong had.But now these doubts can only be put away first, and everyone should be careful.

Xie Rong has already entered, so instead of driving him out of the team and asking him to join some dangerous person, it's better to stay under the nose and observe carefully to see what waves he plans to make.

Photos were taken and certificates were taken, and all necessary preventive facilities were done.The second team got on the bus again.

As usual, one person and one fox flew to the front to explore the way. This time, they quickly found the temporary camp where Liu Enzheng and others stopped to rest.
